place on the 9TH after an enjoyable journey
of over $50 miles through northern Illinois
and Iowa to the northwestern part of this
state.
Ord is situated on the banks of the North
Loup which forms a fertile valley of from
five to ten miles III width, which. with its
enVironing hills, makes as pleasant picture
as is often seen. 1t is traversed by two rail
roads, the u. p. and the B. & NJ. 1t is a
growing town of 1920 inhabitants, encom-
passed by as fine farming lands as are to be
found in the West, while the surrounding
hills afford pasturage for large herds OF live
stock. 1t is the county seat and its fine
county buildings are all ornament to the
town.
Within the last two months two large brick
store buildings and several fine residences
have been erected aud the foundations laid
for large hotel and bank which Will be COM
pleted before the holidays.
Two fine churches, a large brick school
house, two extensive grain elevators, roller

differ very materially from that of Michigan
! The examination of teachers is vested in the
county experimentation once q
month-and he is also the school inspector
and visits all the schools in the county. Only
three third grade certificates are granted
each for a term of six months, after which a
teacher must pass for the second grade, the
studies being the same as in Michigan, thus
compelling continued progress on the part
of the teacher.

parent 10 almost every one The fact is. adj
yertsing has become such an integral part of
modern business methods that it is almost
impossible to carry on any kind of trade or
traffic without its aid. 1t is we'll known that
many concerns pay large salaries to skilled
writers. whose only employment is the inven-
ton and the framing OF attractive and telling
advertisements
Thousands of dollars are annually expend-

many millions more for its publication in

strong ana concise language, set in attractive
form of display. Just what il has TO Offer at
once attracts the merchant as well as the
consumer
No merchant can now wholly depend for
business upon the fact of his being we'll
known to the trade. No matter how many
years he may have been established. or how
familiar his name is to the purchasing pub
lie, or how celebrated his wares are. if he
does not advertise and keep doing SO in some

Speaking of q recent address delivered by
our member of congress at Eimira N. y, the
Elmira advertiser says: "The Hon. Julius
@. Burrows, member of congress from Mich
igan, was then introduced and for half an
hour spoke upon the failures of the admipis-
tration with special reference to the pension
matter and the general treatment of the union
and rebel soldiers. His address was a remark
ably impressive one, bringing tears to the
eyes of many as he gave accounts of actual
cases in his knowledge where the president
had prevented deserving veterans from re-
ceiving their Just due and eliciting roars of
laughter at his droll setting forth of demo-
cratic incompetency. Mr.. Burrows is one of
the very best political orators ever heard in
Elmira. He has the rare good sense, in deal
ing with even the weightiest public questions,
to clothe his thoughts and make his explain
atoms and impress his points with language
of the utmost simplicity, SO that there is no
difficulty in having his address thoroughly
understood by every person hearing him.
His good humor is constant and infectious:
his pathos is natural and keenly touching
and his fund of information wonderful.
The great feature of his address was his ex-
PLANTATION of the republican policy of pro-
lection to American industries. what the pro-
teCti'e taflh IL, now III udS hept loIeigH
cheap labor from degrading our own labor
and built up our own manufacturing and
mechanical work till it could compete with
the whole world. Especially clear and con-
vincing was his demonstration of the fact
that protective tariff of SO much did not
necessarily increase the price of the protect
ed article by that much in our markets.
He showed that many articles were sold here
at prices barely above the tariff tax on the
imported article

The Remedy for sociaIIu..

The advocates of the new theory OF prop
erty, Ia their revision of the Bible, would
give rs an improved version of the parable
OF the Good Samaritan. They tell Us that
when the proud Levite and the selfish priest
had passed by the wounded man. a kind
communist came down that way. and began
to whisper in the sufferers ear: MY
friend, you have been much in error. You
were a thief yourself when you were amas.
sing your private wealth: and these gentle
men who have just relieved you of il with
needless violence have only begun in a hasty
and uniustiiiable manner what must soon be
done in a large and calm way for the benefit
of the whole community" Whereupon, we
are 10 suppose the man was much enlight-
ened and comforted, aud became a useful
member of society. But Christ says that il
was Samaritan, man of property, riding
on has own beast and carrying little spare
capital IN his pocket, who lifted up the stran-
ger, and gave him oil and wine, and brought
him into place of security. and paid for his
support. And TO every one that reads the
parable be sSys: go thou and do likewise =
Here Is the open secret OF the generation of
society IN tho form of picture And If we
want Il IN the form of philosophy we may
get 1t from st. Paul in five words: Let
him that stole steal no more reformation,
but rather let him labor Industry. working
With his hands that which is good honesty.

Work for the Commissioners OF PEN
siOns.


Something useful might be accomplished
were the commissioner of pensions to obtain
reports from all township trustees as TO the
number of ex-soldiers, or widows, or orphans
of such. who are drawing relief from public
charities, and also of the number who are in
mates of poor-houses or asylums. All who
are in such dire distress as is indicated by
such pitiable circumstances should be pen
stoned forthwith. 1t is difficult TO believe
that there would be solitary obiector in
congress to a bill providing relief for all who
are reduced by sickness, old age, debility or
misfortune to such extremity And it is diff
ficult To believe that the president could find
it in his heart or conscience TO veto such a
bill.
But such bill would not go far enough.
War is school in which the heroic virtue
of honest pride is thoroughly developed.
The last ditch into which a soldier falls Is
that of pauperism. 1t may please news
papers whose sympathies were ION the other
side" while the war was III progress, or whose
notions of political economy are those of Mr.,
Gradgrind, to denounce the whole body of
veterans as penny beggars.' but those who
dwelt in tents with them, or have lived in
friendship with them since the tents were
struck, know that many woes are suffered
before the soldier sues with tramps and yaga-
bonds for the relief which the trustees or
poormaSters' office doles out. Ii is quite safe
to say that there are more men who are entitled
to pensions under the present law. and who
have not asked for them, than there are men
who are drawing pensions for supposititious
or exaggerated injuries. The pension ques-
ton will be sure to present itself to the next
session of congress, and the pension depart
ment might aid its intelligent discussion by
collecting some useful, though necessarily
incomplete, statistics.-IBfcy-Oce0D
